TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, AMOR SMITH, of Cincinnati, in the county ofHernilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Process forPreparing and Preserving the Refuse from the Tanks or Tube Where Animallvlutteris Boilecl for use as a. Fertilizer for the loud and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe some.

The refuse or 032.1 from the tanks or tubs used in boiling 'ztnimitlmatter has heretofore been either lost or so imperfectly prepared by a,process of drying as to lose a large part of its real value. Inpreparing it for use so that it will not be subject to decomposition, Ifirst collect it from the tanks or tubs, or wheresoever else it mayAfter being thus subjected to pressure, it is no longer liable todecomposition, and may be prepared for use as a fertilizer, for which itis valuable. I do not claim the process of its preparation 'for such usesubsequent to its leaving the press, but only to that part of theprocess which applies to its preservation against decomposition.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The hereinbefore-described process for preserving the fleshy parts ofboiled animal matter from decomposition by subjecting it to pressure,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this'specifieaition in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.
